As I sit here eating my healthy nuts and drinking water, I salivate over your delicious cookies. I am so happy that I live a vivid sensory lifestyle, that way I can believe I taste your delectable delights without actually putting all these calories in my mouth. I suspect you have culinary talents that far overweigh mine, as I’m only up to making soup and hot cereals with a tad of butter and honey for weeklong consumption. Baking is a memory for me. My beloved Mother did it so well, and I relive moments in the kitchen with her as she baked instead of baking myself. Yummy pies, cakes, and cookies…similar to yours. I hope you have a dandy time making your tasty treats, and I much appreciate you sharing them here. I’m highly visual.
